A l 2 N -. VT, ' I 'X f' ':' 5 i i if 4 I f Svnphnmnre lgintnrg Ring oul, old rlmficl 11011, your Cfll'l'I', .YI Sofvlzonmrv clr1.r.v has landed herv. D, as Columbus said when he discovered the tube under the -,V X Hudson River, That is more truth than poetry. XfVith varying ambitons and emotions we, the Sophomore ew' Class of ,IQ, of john's College, returned once more to the old Alma Mater in the fall of 1916 and took up our abode 1n Vy zx the halls that have sheltered many great men even before our time. Some were looking forward to the fame with which they were to cover themselves with 'glory in athleticsg others of our number were making resolutions to distinguish themselves in the academic departmentg still others were wondering how it would feel to walk on the grass or up and down the Sacred VValk now that their Rat year was over. As we gazed affec- tionately upon the initial stripe of which our sleeves boasted we realized more strongly than ever that we were really a unit of this grand old College. liven while we were still students of the infant variety, otherwise known as Freshmen, we felt that we did very well in athletics, as well as with the work of a more serious nature. During the baseball season two of our number-- Lowe and Polk-won their C. by playing on the Varsity, while M. C. Turner and Smoky Joe Smith played very well on the reserves. On the track squad Trayer and C. C. Holmes did very good work. Upon our return to College this year we found an unusually large number of Freshmen to look after, so we lost no time in showing them all the pleasures of college life. The following experiment has worked wonders so far: To one green Freshman Class add some concentrated discipline, heat well Qwith rulesj under strict supervision until a solution is made. Set aside for a week to cool. VVhen green precipitate forms, throw it away. The remaining solution is found to be a very good specimen at the end of the year. The following rated men were taken into our class: Archetto, H. V. Brown, Fisher, Gattens, Gelhaus, Gross, Hargest, Hernandez, F. Hitchcock, Johns, jumblatt, Klebach, Lentz, McCann, MacMannis, O'Rourk, Plasnig, Raub, Slade, Steele, Terry, Tilghman and NVolf. Most of these men have been doing very good work in every branch of college life, and we are glad to have them members of our class. The '16 Varsity football team had several of our representatives. Bennett, M. C. Turner, Lentz and Plasnig were permanent fixtures throughout the whole season, while the squad was greatly increased by other members of our class. Also in basket-ball 0L11' men are a great asset to the team. Lentz is doing particularly good work, while Harris and MacMannis are giving the squad their earnest support. As for academic work, a glance at the honor rolls will assure you that here, as elsewhere, we are not lacking. In fact, there is no mark or ideal too high for us to strive to attain in behalf of our beloved Alma Mater. With the thought Duty, Honor, Country ever before us, and the motto Be sure you're right and then go ahead, we feel that we cannot fail, and in our success only reflect greatness upon this old institution 'hat we have learned to love.
